Yesterday's Lives - Out Now

Yesterday’s Lives is a deeply personal project made possible by my longtime friend and collaborator Michael Beasley’s unwavering belief and support.

After years marked by loss, renewal and the daily rhythms of family life, the making of this album has been particularly inspiring and exciting for me.

From the intimate studio moments recording at Mana Music and Media on the Big Island, to spontaneous writing sessions that reminded me why I fell in love with music in the first place; Yesterday’s Lives is both a reflection and a tribute to all of the amazing people, places and music that still inspires me to sit at the piano and play. – MH

The DIVINE SPARK of Maggie Herron’s Jazz, Blues-Gospel Way of Beautifully Embracing a Human Life...The Hoku-winning artist just may have released the best (wonderfully accidental) mic-drop of her career.

A beloved institution on the Hawaiian club scene currently celebrating a remarkable 50 years of performing on the islands, Maggie Herron’s life and career are powerful testimonies to the healing power of music, a deeply heartfelt and intensely challenging journey now culminating in the release of her transcendent, stylistically eclectic ninth album, the perfectly titled "Yesterday’s Lives."
Jazz History Online
An admirable range of styles, from the sly wit of the opening track "Wolf", through the insistent rhythms of "I Can't Get to Sleep" and the lush romanticism of the title tune. Herron's smoky voice sounds like a mix of Cleo Laine and Dusty Springfield. All of the tracks exhibit a high level of musicality in both the compositions and the performances.

Right from the first smoky vocals, I was hooked on Maggie Herron's style and a few minutes later on her composing skills...I listened to this CD for two days straight, admiring the lyrical content, catchy melodies, smart arrangements and Maggie Herron's obvious multi talents.

Hers is the accessibility of a singer constantly in touch with the necessary ingredient of emotion to bring any song to life, and reach the audience with the immediacy and preciousness of fleeting moments.
